I don't know if anyone's said this, but I see it as a couple wondering if they'll be together after death (i.e. He goes to Hell while she goes to Heaven, or vice-versa). There are some parts that I'm not sure about, but here's what I've got.
"And I wish that I could tell you right now, I love you
But it looks like I won't be around
So you won't know"
Here, Jesse is saying he loves this woman, but since they've been seperated, he is unable to tell her.
"So believe in me, believe in me, believe in me,
Believe, if you think I'll let you down
Well I won't
They can fire everything they've got
And when you think I�m sunk
I will float on and on
I have burned the bush that covered my light
Even though I'm scared I won't burn that bright
But you won't know"
Here, he's trying to reassure her that they'll be together after they're dead, and that they'll be together. However, they're no longer together, and he realized that he was unable to hold his promise. However, he carried on in either Heaven or Hell, and she can't confront him ("You won't know") because they're now apart.
"So they say in Heaven there's no husbands and wives."
The Bible has mentioned that there are not husbands or wives several times, so, at the end of the day, it may not really matter that they're not together.
"On the day that I go up they'll be completely out of their forgiveness supplies.
And I can't use the telephone
To tell you that I'm dead and gone
so you won't know."
This suggest that Jesse ended up going to Hell for a lack of faith, and he has no way of telling his wife that they will not be together any more.
